Evening Falls

Evening falls like gentle rain
upon the weary day.
The colors fade, then flash once more
before they pass away.
Nature Poems
Welcome to my collection of original nature poems. Everyone needs a “happy place,” and nature happens to be mine. That’s why I’m making these nature poems available online. They offer readers a chance to explore and commune with the great outdoors, even when they can’t be there personally! These poems also make wonderful gifts, cards, and meditations. Please remember to email a request to me before using one of my nature poems. Include full copyright information on every copy made. (For internet use, a link back to the poem on this site is required.)

A woman is a tree of life;
the heavens know her grace.
In her is found an essence that
eclipses time and space.
Union: the Nature

our roots run
together
trunk to trunk
we rise up
bark on bark
we grow
The Gifts of Creation
©2010 Susan Noyes Anderson
How bless’d are we by all of God’s creation!
What miracles attend His outstretched hand!
Adoring is our gaze across the mountains,
Appreciative, our feet upon the land.
Seascape

If life is art, brush all my days
in colors of the sea.
The symphonies of gull and wave
lull cares away from me.
Ode Owed to a Tree
©2010 Susan Noyes Anderson
When life is getting hard for me,
I climb up in my favorite tree
and look down on the world below
where grass is green and flowers grow.
Winter Has a Beauty

Winter has a beauty all its own,
a framework urging men to look within
and find the quiet hush in every soul…
that peaceful place where new growth must begin.
The Moon, More or Less
©2009 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
The moon’s more friendly than the sun
more soothing when the day is done,
more peaceful in the autumn sky,
more gentle to the naked eye.
